Eric's and Noelle's Colorado Adventures

The majestic mountains of Colorado have always held great appeal to Eric and Noelle. Whenever we get the chance we like to find an excuse to visit Colorful Colorado. We enjoy hiking its many trails, sampling its many fine beers, rafting its many whitewater rivers, and visiting its quirky towns and cities. It also happens to be the state where we were engaged. Maybe someday we will be able to call Colorado home, but until then we'll dream about her.
